Author Topic: My kit is complete! Saverio Member Member # 63 posted 11-24-2002 07:17 PM                   Well, it will never be complete, but I finally have enough kit to do a basic impression . I should look like a Northern Italian merchant circa 1300. http://saverio4444.tripod.com/current_kit.html I'm working on a new tunic and overtunic to replace this not so authentic one, and I also plan on making a new pair of hose that don't match my cloak . My clothing is entirely made from wool remnants, so it's sometimes hard to find pieces big enough for cloaks and tunic, hence the less than perfect color choices.

Gwen Registered: Feb 2001  |  IP: Logged Saverio Member Member # 63 posted 11-24-2002 07:27 PM                   Thanks. I feel kind of funny wearing a brown cloak and brown hose. I had a really nice brown hood too, but decided to wear the green prototype instead. My next set is going to be a lot more colorful. My tunic will be red, over tunic blue, and hose light brown. It's strange that the green tunic pictured took me a few weeks to complete (with a sewing machine), in contrast, I did the bulk of my over tunic in one day, by hand. My seamstress grandmother says I have the fastest blanket stitch she's seen in years .

Registered: Jun 2002  |  IP: Logged Saverio Member Member # 63 posted 12-28-2002 06:48 PM                   I've based much of my kit on the Maciejowski Bible. Of course, some of these pieces are a few years old and I've learned much more since then. My next tunic will be longer, since I think this one is too short, and I'd like to get proper belt fittings one day, but these will have to due for now. Registered: Oct 2000  |  IP: Logged
